2 lbs ground beef

1 cup red chile peppers – chopped

1 can diced tomatoes

2 cups onion – chopped

Place a large saucepan over “Medium” heat and let the pan heat for 3 minutes. Brown the ground Italian sausage and slowly mix in the ground beef. Cook the meats until golden brown and then drain the meats of any grease. Place the saucepan back on the stove and add the red chile peppers, diced tomatoes and onion to the meat mixture. Stir the mixture until the ingredients are well blended. Next, blend the garlic powder and black pepper into the mixture. Slowly add the cheddar cheese and stir the mixture until the cheese melts. Serve this Italian Treat over croutons. This treat pairs well with red wine.
